Lowell asked Aaron to check into putting the sewer deposits
into a separate fund from the water deposits.

someone will come to council meeting on Thursday night to fill it.He said we would wait until February to have
the organizational meeting.We’ll set
meeting dates and times at that time.

Lowell said that Terry thinks we might need a new chlorine
pump at the pump house.If so, he’ll
need a PO for around $200.We’ll have to
wait until council approves interim appropriations.We wait to see if we even need a new pump.

Lowell said the Walnut Creek Sewer District board members
still don’t know what they are going to do about a new billing software
package.If they get one, we assume
we’ll probably have to chip in a third of the cost.They are still considering different
packages.

Lowell is going to ask Baltimore if they are going to
increase water rates this year.

Bev asked about the rates going down
in twenty years.Lowell explained that
the loan will be paid off in 2014, but rates may stay the same.They could go up or down depending on the
current situations and EPA requirements.
